Review summary

Cruising through the Panama canal is a marvelous experience that needs to be added to your bucket list.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Only one elevator was available which delayed wheel chair assistance

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

While we requested a dedicated table at dinner, i.e., having the same waiter and assistant waiter each night, we were seated at a different table with different table mates every night of the 15-day cruise. We were not satisfied with this procedure. Overall, the food and service was OK.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We did not use any of these activities because of mobility reasons. This ship needs a swimming pool that is accessible to someone with mobility problems. All the pools require walking up several steps.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We appreciated the afternoon matinees.

Children's Programs

We had no children with us

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most did a fine job but are room steward did not always meet our requests, e.g., always having ice available.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship needs some work, our balcony showed lots of rust and wear.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

This is an accessible room but it was not large enough to easily contain a scooter and walker. On other cruise lines, accessible cabins were much larger.
